CVE-2006-1490  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 php5 to version 5.1.4-0.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream php5 package and not the php5 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

PHP before 5.1.3-RC1 might allow remote attackers to obtain portions of memory via crafted binary data sent to a script that processes user input in the html_entity_decode function and sends the encoded results back to the client, aka a "binary safety" issue. NOTE: this issue has been referred to as a "memory leak," but it is an information leak that discloses memory contents.
